Comment intégrer et faire émerger des structures architecturées dans l'optimisation de pièces pour la fabrication additive par faisceaux d’électrons / How to intégrate lattice structure in topological optimisation for additive manufacturing with electron beam melting.Doutre, Pierre-Thomas 23 March 2018 (has links)
Grâce à la fabrication additive, il est aujourd'hui possible de fabriquer de nouvelles géométries. Les perspectives offertes par les moyens de fabrications conventionnelles et additives sont très différentes. Des propositions de design très contraintes peuvent devenir beaucoup plus libres avec la fabrication additive. Cette liberté qu'elle offre fait émerger une multitude de possibilités. Dans ce manuscrit, nous nous sommes focalisés sur un type particulier de structures (les octetruss) ainsi que sur les moyens de fabrication EBM (Electron Beam Melting) de la société ARCAM. Les travaux présentés dans cette thèse ont été réalisés au sein des laboratoires G-SCOP et SIMAP ainsi qu'en partenariat avec l'entreprise POLY-SHAPE. Ce manuscrit est articulé autour de trois principaux points.Il s'agit tout d'abord de faire émerger des structures treillis lors du processus de conception. Pour cela, deux approches existantes sont détaillées. La première met en œuvre l'optimisation topologique et la seconde s'appuie sur le concept de matériau équivalent. Ensuite deux méthodologies permettent de faire émerger des zones dans lesquelles l'intégration de structures treillis est adaptée. La première consiste à réaliser les différentes zones en s'appuyant sur un champ de contraintes issu d'un calcul Eléments Finis, la seconde se base sur un résultat d'optimisation topologique pour établir les différentes zones. Cette seconde méthodologie est appliquée à un cas d'étude industriel.Ensuite nous étudions comment remplir les différentes zones avec des structures treillis adaptées en nous focalisant tout d'abord sur leur génération. Un accent particulier est porté sur l'intersection des différents barreaux par la mise en place de sphères. Une méthodologie permettant de générer des arrondis est également proposée. Une étude est menée sur l'ensemble des paramètres et informations à considérer pour intégrer une structure treillis à une zone donnée. Cette étude conduit à une proposition de méthodologie qui est appliquée à un cas d'étude industriel.Enfin, les aspects liés à la fabrication sont pris en compte. Pour cela, nous considérons différentes limites du moyen de fabrication EBM pour des structures treillis comme les dimensions maximales réalisables ou les problématiques thermiques. Une étude consistant à prédire la dépoudrabilité des pièces est réalisée. Enfin, des essais mécaniques sont effectués. Nos résultats sont comparés à ceux obtenus dans d'autres travaux. L'impact des arrondis sur le comportement mécanique d'une pièce est discuté. / Thanks to additive manufacturing, it is now possible to manufacture new geometric shapes. The prospects offered by the methods of conventional and additive manufacturing are very different. Highly constrained design proposals can become much freer with additive manufacturing. The freedom it offers brings forward a multitude of possibilities. In this manuscript, we focused on a particular type of structures (the octetruss) as well as the use of EBM (Electron Beam Melting) of ARCAM as a means of manufacturing. The work presented in this thesis was carried out in the laboratories G-SCOP and SIMAP as well as in partnership with the company POLY-SHAPE. This manuscript focuses on three main points.The first of which is the action of emergence of lattice structures during the design process. For this, two existing approaches are detailed. The first uses topological optimization and the second is based on the concept of equivalent material. Following these, there are two methodologies used to identify areas in which the integration of lattice structures is possible and appropriate. The first consists of creating the different zones by relying on a stress field resulting from a finite element calculation, the second establishes the different zones using a topological optimization result. This second methodology is applied to an industrial case study.Secondly, we study how to fill the different areas with appropriate lattice structures by focusing first on their generation. Particular emphasis is placed on the intersection of the various bars by the establishment of spheres. A methodology for generating rounded-shape is also proposed. A study is carried out on all the parameters and information in order to integrate a lattice structure to a given area. This study leads to a proposed methodology that is applied to an industrial case study.Finally, aspects related to manufacturing are taken into account. For this, we consider different limits of the EBM manufacturing and what they mean for lattice structures; such as maximum achievable dimensions or thermal problems. A study to predict powder removal in order to extract the fabricated structure is performed. Mechanical tests are carried out. Our results are compared to those obtained in other works. The impact of curve on the mechanical behavior of a product is discussed.

Strategier för att minimera porositet vid tillverkning med Electron Beam Melting : Hur smältstrategier och geometrisk utformning påverkar porositet och porfördelning i komponenter tillverkade med EBM.Blomström, Tommy, Lindberg, Victor January 2020 (has links)
Additiv tillverkning (AM) är en tillverkningsmetod som skapar komponenter genom att addera material där det tidigare inte fanns, detta möjliggör tillverkning av geometrier som annars hade varit omöjliga eller mycket tidskrävande. Electron Beam Melting är en pulverbaserad AM metod där ett metallpulver smälts samman av en elektronstråle. De två största nackdelarna med pulverbaserad AM är en ojämn yta och inre porositet i tillverkade komponenter. Den grova ytan avhjälps i de fall det behövs genom att efterbehandla komponenter genom skärande bearbetning och porositeten åtgärdas idag med HIP, Hot Isostatic Pressing. Arbetet i denna rapport har som syfte att minimera porositeten in situ för att öka tillförlitligheten och repeterbarhet hos materialegenskaperna i EBM-tillverkade komponenter genom optimerandet av smältstrategin. Detta har skett genom ett experiment där fem smältstrategier har använts vid tillverkning av fyra olika utformade provstavar varvid porositeten har granskats i avseendena porandel av ytarea och porfördelning. De fem strategierna var S0, Standard; S1, Enkelriktad ifyllnad före kontur; S2.0, Endast kontur utifrån och in; S2.1, Endast kontur inifrån och ut; S2.2, Som S2.1 utan MultiBeam, och de fyra provstavsutformningarna var ett rätblock, en cylinder, ett rör med 3 mm tjocka väggar och ett timglas. Lägst porositet gavs av S2.1 med en genomsnittlig densitet på 99,993 % och högst gavs av S2.0 med en denistet på 98,63 % där S0 resulterade i en genomsnittlig densitet på 99,94%. / Additive manufacturing (AM) is a manufacturing method that creates components by adding material where there previously was none, this enables fabrication of geometries which otherwise had been impossible or very time consuming. Electron Beam Melting is a powder based AM-method where a metallic powder is melted by an electron beam. The two largest issues with powder based AM is its high surface roughness and internal porosity of manufactured components. The uneven surface is remedied where necessary by making the part larger than its final dimensions and machining it to size while the porosity today is rectified with HIP, Hot Isostatic Pressing. This works aims to minimize the porosity in situ in order to improve the reliability and repeatability of the material properties of EBM-manufactured parts through the optimization of the melting strategy. This has been done through an experiment in which five melting strategies have been applied to four different test rods after which the porosity was examined in terms of porosity and pore distribution. The five strategies were S0, Standard; S1, One-way hatch before contour; S2.0, Only contour outside and in; S2.1, Only contour inside and out; S2.2, Like S2.1 without MultiBeam, and the four test bar designs were a cuboid, a cylinder, a tube with 3 mm thick walls and an hourglass. The lowest porosity was given by S2.1 with a mean average density of 99 993% and highest was S2.0 with 98.63% density whereas S0 resulted in a mean average density of 99.94%. / <p>Betyg 2020-08-02</p>

Genotipagem de linhagens de Yersinia spp. por high-resolution melting analysis / Genotyping of Yersinia strains by high-resolution melting analysisSouza, Roberto Antonio de 23 May 2013 (has links)
O gênero Yersinia pertence à família Enterobacteriaceae e compreende 17 espécies. Y. pestis, Y. pseudotuberculosis e Y. enterocolitica são reconhecidamente patógenos de humanos e animais. Y. pestis cause a peste. Y. pseudotuberculosis e Y. enterocolitica são agentes causadores, sobretudo, de gastroenterites transmitidas por água e alimentos. As demais 14 espécies são, usualmente, consideradas não-patogênicas, com exceção de Y. ruckeri sorogrupo O:1 que causa infecções em peixes. Nas últimas décadas, a tipagem molecular tornou-se uma importante ferramenta nos estudos filogenéticos de numerosos micro-organismos e o desenvolvimento de sistemas de tipagem rápidos e baratos pode facilitar os estudos epidemiológicos de infecções bacterianas. No presente estudo objetivou-se desenvolver um método de genotipagem de Yersinia spp. baseado em high-resolution melting analysis (HRMA) para diferenciar os single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) presentes nas sequências dos genes 16S rRNA, glnA, gyrB, hsp60 e recA e aplicá-lo na tipagem de 40 linhagens de Y. pseudotuberculosis e 50 linhagens de Y. enterocolitica, bem como separar por HRMA as espécies Y. pseudotuberculosis e Y. enterocolitica. Os SNPs foram determinados nas sequências dos loci acima citados a partir de um conjunto de 119 linhagens de Yersinia spp. depositadas no GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ. Foram encontrados nas sequências dos genes analisados de Y. pseudotuberculosis, Y. enterocolitica, Y. bercovieri, Y. rohdei, Y. intermedia, Y. mollaretii e Y. ruckeri 10, 10, 9, 6, 4, 1 e 1 SNPs, respectivamente. Nenhum SNP foi encontrado nas sequências analisadas de Y. pestis e um grande número de SNPs foi encontrado nas sequências analisadas de Y. frederiksenii, Y. kristensenii e Y. massiliensis, o que impossibilitou a genotipagem dessas espécies por HRMA. As demais espécies não foram analisadas. Foram desenhados pares de primers para flanquear os SNPs encontrados em cada espécie de Yersinia testada. Usando um conjunto de primers espécie-específicos, a diversidade genética de cada espécie de Yersinia foi determinada por HRMA e a análise filogenética foi baseada na sequência concatenada composta pelos nucleotídeos identificados em cada fragmento analisado. O agrupamento foi realizado com o software BioNumerics usando o método UPGMA com 1.000 replicatas de bootstrap. A árvore filogenética ii construída para Y. pseudotuberculosis agrupou as linhagens em clusters bio-sorogrupo específicos. As linhagens do bio-sorogrupo 1/O:1 foram agrupadas em um cluster e as linhagens do bio-sorogrupo 2/O:3 em outro. A árvore filogenética construída para Y. enterocolitica agrupou as linhagens em três grupos. As linhagens altamente patogênicas, do biotipo 1B, foram agrupadas em um cluster, as linhagens de média patogenicidade, dos biotipos 2, 3, 4 e 5, foram agrupadas em um segundo cluster e as linhagens consideradas nãopatogênicas, do biotipo 1A, foram agrupadas em um terceiro cluster. O agrupamento encontrado em Y. pseudotuberculosis e Y. enterocolitica foi consistente com o perfil patogênico característico dessas duas espécies. Nenhuma correlação epidemiológica significativa foi encontrada no agrupamento de Y. bercovieri, Y. rohdei, Y. intermedia, Y. mollaretii e Y. ruckeri de acordo com os resultados de HRMA. Ademais, o método de HRMA aqui desenvolvido foi capaz de separar as espécies Y. pseudotuberculosis e Y. enterocolitica. O método de HRMA desenvolvido nesse estudo pode ser usado como uma alternativa para a genotipagem e para a diferenciação de Y. pseudotuberculosis de Y. enterocolitica. Esse método também pode complementar os métodos baseados em sequências e facilitar os estudos epidemiológicos dessas duas espécies de Yersinia. / The genus Yersinia belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae and comprises 17 species. Y. pestis, Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica are well recognized human and animal pathogens. Y. pestis causes plague. Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica are, usually, causative agents of food-waterborne gastroenteritis. The other 14 Yersinia species are considered to be non-pathogenic, with the exception of Y. ruckeri serogroup O:1 which causes infections in fishes. In the last few decades, molecular typing has become an important tool in phylogenetic studies of several microorganisms and the development of fast and inexpensive typing systems can facilitate epidemiological studies of bacterial infections. The present study aimed to develop a method of Yersinia spp. genotyping based on high-resolution melting analysis (HRMA) in order to differentiate the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) present in the 16S rRNA, glnA, gyrB, hsp60 and recA sequences and apply it in the typing of 40 Y. pseudotuberculosis strains and 50 Y. enterocolitica strains, as well as, to separate by HRMA the Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica species. The SNPs were determined in the sequences of the aforementioned loci using a set of 119 Yersinia strains deposited in the GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ database. It were found in the gene sequences analyzed of Y. pseudotuberculosis, Y. enterocolitica, Y. bercovieri, Y. rohdei, Y. intermedia, Y. mollaretii and Y. ruckeri 10, 10, 9, 6, 4, 1 and 1 SNPs, respectively. No SNPs was found in the analyzed sequences of Y. pestis and a large number of SNPs were found in the analyzed sequences of Y. frederiksenii, Y. kristensenii and Y. massiliensis what prevented their genotyping by HRMA. The remaining Yersinia species were not analyzed. It was designed primer pairs to flank the SNPs found in each Yersinia species tested. Using a specie-specific set of primers, the genetic diversity of each Yersinia species used was determined by HRMA and the phylogenetic analysis was based on the concatenated sequence composed by the nucleotides identified in each fragment analyzed. Clustering was performed with the software package BioNumerics using UPGMA method and 1,000 bootstrap replicates. The phylogenetic tree constructed for Y. pseudotuberculosis grouped the strains into bio-serogroups specific clusters. The strains of 1/O:1 bio-serogroup were grouped into one cluster and the strains of 2/O:3 bio-serogroup into iv other cluster. The phylogenetic tree constructed for Y. enterocolitica grouped the strains in three clusters. The highly pathogenic strains, of biotype 1B, were grouped into one cluster, the moderate pathogenic strains, of biotypes 2, 3, 4 and 5, were grouped into a second cluster and, the non-pathogenic strains, of biotype 1A, were grouped into a third cluster. The clusterization of Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica were consistent with the pathogenic profile characteristic of these two Yersinia species. No significant epidemiological correlation was found in the grouping of Y. bercovieri, Y. rohdei, Y. intermedia Y. mollaretii and Y. ruckeri according to HRMA results. Moreover, the HRMA-based method develop here was able to separate the Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica species. The HRMA assay developed in this study can be used as an alternative for the genotyping and the differentiation of Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica. This method can also complement sequence-based methods and facilitate epidemiological studies of these two Yersinia species.

Modulation of crustal magmatic systems by external tectonic forcingKarakas, Ozge 16 November 2011 (has links)
We develop a two dimensional model that simulates the response of the crust to prolonged mantle-derived intrusions in arc environments. The domain includes the entire crustal section and upper mantle and focuses on the evolving thermal structure due to intrusions and external tectonic forcing. We monitor the thermal response, melt fraction and volume for different environments after a definite time by considering geologically relevant melt flux and extensional tectonic rates. The amount of crustal melt versus fractionated primary mantle melts present in the crustal column helps determine crustal structure and growth through time. We observe that with a geophysically estimated flux and tectonic rate, the mantle-derived magma bodies can melt the surrounding volume of crust. We express the amount of crustal melting in terms of an efficiency; therefore we define the melting efficiency as the ratio of the melted volume of crustal material to the volume of melt expected from a strict enthalpy balance as explained by Dufek and Bergantz (2005). Melting efficiencies are less than 1.0 in real systems because heat diffuses to sections of the crust that never melt. The maximum calculated efficiency is 0.05 in our model while most of our simulations show zero efficiency. Additionally, maximum total melt amount is observed in relatively greater extensional environments (0.02 m/yr) and high intrusion rates (10⁻² m³/m²/yr) and in long time periods (2 x 10⁶ years). However, maximum crustal melting in the same environment is reached in 1.2 x 10⁶ years. The relative amounts of mantle-derived and crustal melts in the total volume of magma suggest that the majority of magma composition in crustal column is derived from the mantle material.

Impacts Of Climate Change On Water Resources On Eastern Mountainous Region Of TurkeyGuventurk, Abdulkadir 01 March 2013 (has links) (PDF)
Temperature and precipitation are the most important indicators of climate change. Especially for the basins fed by snow, the shifts of melting to earlier times, affects the streamflow. Increase in temperature causes to shifts of melting of snow to shift to earlier times so that hydrologic regime of the river system changes, and leads to changes in climatic conditions of the region.
In this study the shifts of snow melting times are analyzed for the selected 15 streamflow stations located in Euphrates, Tigris, Aras, and Ç / oruh basins in Eastern Anatolia of Turkey along with period from 1970 to 2010. The shifts in snowmelt runoff are determined by Center Time (CT) method. Meteorological stations representing the stream gauge stations regarding the basin characteristics are also selected to be used in the analyses. In order to relate CT shifts to temperature and precipitation changes, trend analysis are applied to temperature, precipitation and streamflow data. In addition to these, days with daily average temperature less than freezing and wet days below freezing until CT for each station pair between stream gauge and meteorological stations and each year are also analyzed. These days till CT within a year for each station pair can be indirectly linked to snowy days and accumulated snow amount. Complete analyses show significant warming at each station in the region and no important trends in annual precipitation. However at a few stations meaningful seasonal changes in precipitation are observed. Regional warming and associated changes in precipitation and snowmelt runoff cause significant shifts to earlier times of snowmelt runoff. In the region eight out of fifteen stream gauge stations in Euphrates, Tigris and Aras basins showed significant time shifts according to statistical trend tests.

Optimization of Electron Beam Melting for Production of Small Components in Biocompatible Titanium GradesKarlsson, Joakim January 2015 (has links)
Additive manufacturing (AM), also called 3D-printing, are technologies where parts are formed from the bottom up by adding material layer-by-layer on top of each other. Electron Beam Melting (EBM) is an AM technique capable of manufacturing fully solid metallic parts, using a high-intensity electron beam to melt powder particles in layers to form finished components. Compared to conventional machining, EBM offers enhanced efficiency for production of customized and patient specific parts such as e.g. dental prosthetics. However, dental prosthetics are challenging to produce by EBM, as their small sizes mean that mechanical and surface properties may be altered as part sizes decreases. The aim of this thesis is to gain new insights that could lead to optimization for production of small sized components in the EBM. The work is focused to understand the process-property relationships for small size components production. To improve the surface resolution and part detailing, a smaller sized powder was used for production and compared to parts made with standard sized powder. The surface-, chemical and mechanical properties were evaluated for parts produced with both types of powders. The results indicate that the surface roughness may be influenced by powder and build layer thickness size, whereas the mechanical properties showed no influence of the layer-wise production. However, the mechanical properties are dependent on part size. The outermost surface of the parts consists of a surface oxide dominated by TiO2, formed as a result of reaction between the surface and residual gases in the EBM build chamber. The surface oxide thickness is comparable to that of a conventionally machined surface, but is dependent on build height. This work concludes that the surface resolution and component detailing can be improved by various measures. Provided that proper process themes are used, the EBM manufactured material is homogenous with properties comparable to conventional produced titanium. It has also been shown that the material properties will be altered for small components. The results point towards different ways of optimizing manufacturing of dental prosthetics by EBM, which will make dental prosthetics available for an increased number of patients.

Characterization and optimization of lattice structures made by Electron Beam Melting / Caractérisation et optimisation de structures treillis fabriquées par EBMSuard, Mathieu 13 November 2015 (has links)
Le récent développement de la Fabrication Additive de pièces métalliques permet d'élaborer directement des structures à partir de modèles 3D. En particulier, la technologie "Electron Beam Melting" (EBM) permet la fusion sélective, couche par couche, de poudres métalliques. Elle autorise la réalisation de géométries très complexes mais apporte de nouvelles contraintes de fabrication.Ce travail se concentre sur la caractérisation géométrique et mécanique de structures treillis produites par cette méthode. Les pièces fabriquées sont comparées au design initial à travers des caractérisations par tomographie aux rayons X. Les propriétés mécaniques sont testées en compression uni-axiale. Pour les poutres de faibles épaisseur, la différence entre la structure numérique et celle fabriquée devient significative. Les écarts au design initial se traduisent pour chaque poutre par un concept de matière mécaniquement efficace. D'un point de vue modélisation, ce concept est pris en compte en remplaçant la poutre fabriquée par un cylindre avec un diamètre mécaniquement équivalent. Ce diamètre équivalent est utilisé dans des simulations et optimisations "réalistes" intégrant ainsi les contraintes de fabrication de la technologie EBM.Différentes stratégies sont aussi proposées pour réduire la proportion de volume "inefficace" et améliorer le contrôle de la taille des poutres, soit en jouant sur les paramètres procédé et les stratégies de fusion, soit en effectuant des post-traitements. / The recent development of Additive Manufacturing for the fabrication of metallic parts allows structures to be directly manufactured from 3D models. In particular, the "Electron Beam Melting" (EBM) technology is a suitable process which selectively melts a powder bed layer by layer. It can build very complex geometries but brings new limitations that have to be quantified.This work focuses on the structural and mechanical characterization of lattice structures produced by such technology. The structural characterization mainly rely on X-ray tomography whereas mechanical properties are assessed by uni-axial compression. The geometry and related properties of the fabricated structures are compared with the designed ones. For small strut size, the difference between the designed structure and the produced one is large enough to impact the desired mechanical properties. The concept of mechanical efficient volume is introduced. For the purpose of simulation, this concept is taken into account by replacing the struts by a cylinder with a textit{mechanical equivalent diameter}. After validation, it has been used into "realistic" simulation and optimization procedures, thus taking into account the process constraints.Post-treatments (Chemical Etching and Electro-Chemical Polishing) were applied on lattice structures to get rid of the inefficient matter by decreasing the surface roughness. The control of the size of the fabricated struts was improved by tuning the process strategies and parameters.

Solutions architecturées par fabrication additive pour refroidissement de parois de chambres de combustion / Architectured materials fabricated by additive manufacturing for surface cooling of combustion chambersLambert, Océane 13 October 2017 (has links)
En vue de leur refroidissement, les parois de chambres de combustion aéronautiques sont perforées de trous à travers lesquels de l’air plus froid est injecté. La paroi est ainsi refroidie par convection et un film isolant est créé en surface chaude (film cooling). Cette thèse a pour objectif d’utiliser les possibilités de la fabrication additive pour proposer de nouvelles solutions architecturées qui permettraient d’augmenter les échanges de chaleur internes et d’obtenir ainsi de meilleures efficacités de refroidissement.La première approche consiste à élaborer de nouveaux designs de plaques multiperforées par Electron Beam Melting (EBM) et Selective Laser Melting (SLM) aux limites de résolution des procédés. Les architectures sont caractérisées en microscopie, en tomographie X et en perméabilité. Des simulations aérothermiques permettent de mettre en évidence l’effet de ces nouveaux designs sur l’écoulement et les échanges de chaleur, et de proposer des voies d’amélioration de la géométrie.La deuxième approche consiste à élaborer de façon simultanée une pièce architecturée par EBM, avec des zones denses et poreuses. A partir d’analyse d’images associée à une cartographie EBSD grand champ, il est possible de remonter aux mécanismes de formation du matériau poreux et de relier la perméabilité et la porosité aux paramètres procédé. Afin de favoriser le film cooling, il pourrait être avantageux que les zones microporeuses soient orientées dans le sens de l’écoulement. Pour ce faire, un nouveau procédé dénommé Magnetic Freezing, où des poudres métalliques forment une structure orientée par un champ magnétique, est mis au point.Les diverses solutions développées durant cette thèse sont testées sur un banc aérothermique. Les essais montrent qu’elles offrent un refroidissement plus efficace et plus homogène que la référence industrielle. Enfin, de premiers tests en combustion sur l’une des structures retenues, plus légère et plus perméable que la référence, montrent qu’il s’agit d’une solution aussi efficace à un débit traversant donné, et donc a priori plus efficace à une surpression donnée. / Combustion chamber walls are perforated with holes so that a cooling air flow can be injected through them. The wall is cooled by convection and an insulating film is created on the hot surface (film cooling). This PhD thesis aims to use the possibilities of additive manufacturing to provide new architectured solutions that could enhance the internal heat exchanges, and lead to a higher cooling effectiveness.The first approach is to develop new designs of multiperforated walls by Electron Beam Melting (EBM) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM) used at the resolution limits of the processes. They are characterized by microscopy, X-ray tomography and permeability tests. Some aerothermal simulations help understanding the effects of these new designs on the flow and on heat exchanges. These results lead to a geometry adaptation.The second approach is to simultaneously manufacture an architectured part with dense and porous zones by EBM. Thanks to image analysis combined with large field EBSD, it is possible to investigate the mechanisms leading to the porous zones and to link them to permeability and porosity. The film cooling effect could be favoured by the orientation of pores towards the cooling flow. Therefore, a new powder-based manufacturing process named Magnetic Freezing, where metallic powders organize into an oriented structure thanks to a magnetic field, is developed.The various solutions studied during this thesis are tested on an aerothermal bench. They all show a more efficient and homogeneous cooling than the industrial reference. Some first tests on one of the selected solutions are performed on a combustion bench. This lighter and more permeable structure proves to be a solution as efficient as the industrial reference at a given flow rate. It should therefore be a more efficient solution for a given overpressure.

The SNPs were determined in the sequences of the aforementioned loci using a set of 119 Yersinia strains deposited in the GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ database. It were found in the gene sequences analyzed of Y. pseudotuberculosis, Y. enterocolitica, Y. bercovieri, Y. rohdei, Y. intermedia, Y. mollaretii and Y. ruckeri 10, 10, 9, 6, 4, 1 and 1 SNPs, respectively. No SNPs was found in the analyzed sequences of Y. pestis and a large number of SNPs were found in the analyzed sequences of Y. frederiksenii, Y. kristensenii and Y. massiliensis what prevented their genotyping by HRMA. The remaining Yersinia species were not analyzed. It was designed primer pairs to flank the SNPs found in each Yersinia species tested. Using a specie-specific set of primers, the genetic diversity of each Yersinia species used was determined by HRMA and the phylogenetic analysis was based on the concatenated sequence composed by the nucleotides identified in each fragment analyzed. Clustering was performed with the software package BioNumerics using UPGMA method and 1,000 bootstrap replicates. The phylogenetic tree constructed for Y. pseudotuberculosis grouped the strains into bio-serogroups specific clusters. The strains of 1/O:1 bio-serogroup were grouped into one cluster and the strains of 2/O:3 bio-serogroup into iv other cluster. The phylogenetic tree constructed for Y. enterocolitica grouped the strains in three clusters. The highly pathogenic strains, of biotype 1B, were grouped into one cluster, the moderate pathogenic strains, of biotypes 2, 3, 4 and 5, were grouped into a second cluster and, the non-pathogenic strains, of biotype 1A, were grouped into a third cluster. The clusterization of Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica were consistent with the pathogenic profile characteristic of these two Yersinia species. No significant epidemiological correlation was found in the grouping of Y. bercovieri, Y. rohdei, Y. intermedia Y. mollaretii and Y. ruckeri according to HRMA results. Moreover, the HRMA-based method develop here was able to separate the Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica species. The HRMA assay developed in this study can be used as an alternative for the genotyping and the differentiation of Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica. This method can also complement sequence-based methods and facilitate epidemiological studies of these two Yersinia species.
